an extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and durability of effect of lum001 in the treatment of cholestatic liver disease in pediatric subjects with alagille syndrome

Conditions: Alagille Syndrome

Summary: this is a multicentre, extension study of lum001 in children diagnosed with alagille syndrome who have completed participation in a core lum001 treatment protocol. the primary objective is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of lum001. efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of lum001 on the biochemical markers and pruritus associated with alagille syndrome.
